Mr Book Closed-F

Several people have crossed the pathways of my life,
and although certain items of experience are HAZY,
there is enough in deep pockets of my memory
that is DREAMLIKE in the sense that not only were
they special, but like a pleasant Spring wind,                                           
they blew over ever so gently and prematurely.

For example, there was a man who called himself
'Book Closed' for reasons I did not understand as a child
but later figured it out long after his departure.  He was
a finisher of jobs or chores, and when finished he would say,
"Book Closed".                                                                                         

To my displeasure, I did not see and interact
with such people near as much as I would have liked.
If it were not for one of my siblings who attests
to their reality as well, such people would
seem UNREAL or as figments of things
IMAGINARY.                                                                                   

Although I have felt SURREAL
moments as if 'I'd been there or done that
before',  I have never had a TRANCELIKE experience
that portrayed to me things to come like Peter experienced
in The Book of Acts.  I suspect that some of us are more geared
than others to encounter SHADOWY moments.  I am rather pleased
and content that I can wait until I'm in heaven for ETHEREAL places          and things.
